Where Are You From?

A Celebration of Cultural Diversity in Aotearoa at the Upstairs Gallery, Lopdell House from Saturday 29 March 10AM to Sunday 30 March 4PM as part of the World of Cultures Festival.

I’m excited to share my exhibition Where Are You From?, at the Upstairs Gallery, Lopdell House. This series of large-scale oil portraits celebrates Aucklanders from a rich tapestry of ethnic backgrounds, reflecting the diversity of people who call this place home.

Through bold colours and layered textures, these works challenge narrow ideas of what it means to be a New Zealander and invite us to see Tamaki Makaurau through a lens of identity, inclusivity, and shared humanity.

The exhibition will also include a collage workshop where participants can create their own contributions to the conversation.

A family-friendly workshop, open to all ages and skill levels, hands-on session, on Sat 29 March from 12 to 2pm.

No booking is needed and all materials are provided.
